The New Year offers us something to be hopeful about . So let's turn over the calendar to a new page with a New Year and hope that our NEW PRESIDENT will bring us the hope and chance we need. Because we certainly need some hope after this "president "A new year can represent a new start, and better hope for our Country.We sure need it.

Our hope would be to take the roadblocks downNo more to have to hide behind the wallsNegativity built with a frown,Even though she smiles in gleaming hallsWelcoming all with fawning falsity,Yet yearning all the while for something solid.Excitement dies in stuffy halls at tea,As hypocrisy makes discourse witless, stolid.Rarely may we speak without a filter.‘Tis safer not, lest someone take offense.So, fearing to be thought bizarre –– off kilter ––Daft –– depraved –– or simply too intense ––A fear of ostracism serves P-C,Yielding a moribund society.
